Hi Danielle and Andrea, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to both of you for all your support throughout my Cannes Lions assignment.

From the hiring process right through to the end of the assignment, you’ve both been incredibly helpful, responsive, and supportive. You really understood what we were looking for and matched us with a fantastic opportunity. 

Working with Handle has been a great experience, everything was smooth, communication was clear, and payments were always on time. It’s been a pleasure working with you both, and I’d love the opportunity to work with Handle again in the future. 

Thank you once again, and I hope our paths cross again soon! Best, Advika

During my time at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, I had the opportunity to work as a Judging Coordinator across a range of award categories. 

In my first few months, I focused on processing submissions and carrying out integrity checks to ensure entries met the required standards. As the festival approached, I was assigned to the Social & Creator Lions category, which was a particularly rewarding experience given my background in social media. 

Being able to observe and support the judging process, while listening to the insights and discussions of some of the industry's leading professionals, was an invaluable learning opportunity. I gained a deeper understanding of creative excellence while developing my coordination and operational skills in a fast-paced, high-profile environment. Overall, it was an incredibly rewarding experience, and I discovered how much I enjoy working on the event operations side of the industry. 

From communicating with world-class industry professionals to managing live judging sessions for Young Lions, I found that I thrived in a coordination role. It confirmed my passion for this type of work, and I would love the opportunity to take on a similar role in the future.

Huge thank you to Harry who helped organise the smooth sailing recruitment process - a massive help the whole way along!

I’ve had an excellent experience with Handle Recruitment and can confidently say they’re doing an amazing job. Suzanne, in particular, has been absolutely outstanding throughout my job search. 

She’s incredibly knowledgeable, proactive, and genuinely supportive, taking the time to understand what I’m looking for and always offering thoughtful guidance at every step. She communicates clearly, follows up consistently, and makes the whole process feel far less stressful. It’s obvious she truly cares about her candidates and is wonderful at what she does. 

I couldn’t recommend Suzanne or Handle Recruitment highly enough.

Handle Recruitment have been particularly helpful with finding me a variety of temp placements over the past year. 

We're in the midst of a difficult climate in the working world at the moment, and it has primarily been Handle Recruitment that has kept me afloat over the past year. Rebecca, Annalise, Maddy and Natasha have been particularly amazing!
